it is great advantage for all chess players and like me also. I am finding the partner who is ready to play chess daily withme me on internet for improving my game. For example, if I played 1. e4 than the reply will come C5. 2. Nf3 nc6. 3. D4 c.d4. 4. N.d4 n.d4. so on! So anybody wants to play please contact me. No time limit, you can think 1 2 days also. I will preserve your moves. Note: first preference goes to your work than to the chess. regards Ravi
